The Weimar period, which extended from 1919 to 1933, was a time of
political violence, economic crisis, generational and gender
tension, and cultural experiment and change in Germany. Despite
these major issues, the Republic is often treated only as a preface
to the study of the rise of Fascism. This text seeks to restore the
balance, exploring the Weimar period in its own right. Amongst the
topics discussed are: Weimar as the avant-garde artistic centre of
Europe in the 1920s when many cultural figures were politically
engaged on both sides of the political spectrum; Weimar as a German
state racked by conflict over questions of morality versus ideas of
greater sexual freedom for women, homosexual rights, abortion and
birth control; the struggle to win the hearts and minds of German
youth, a struggle won decisively by the right-wing; and Weimar as
the first German state in which women played a significant
political role. -- .
